Although Han Li and Mei Ning were two fresh faces, the guards just glanced at them and didn't ask any questions. Instead, they gathered around other people who went out, chatting excitedly about something. And let the tall men show the fish and shrimp in the skin bag for them to see, and then let out a burst of exclamation.
All this made Han Li, who was watching coldly, frown slightly. It seems that here, fish and shrimp are either very rare, or all food is very scarce.
Afterwards, Han Li scanned the entire village.
The whole village was protected in the middle by the same tall stone wall. All the buildings in the village are made of dark stones, most of them are simple and rough, and most of them are square. But the most eye-catching thing is a stone platform in the center of the village. This stone platform is not big, but it is several times higher than other houses. It is three or four feet high, and a lavender mist is released from the top of the stone platform, covering the sky above the entire village. As long as there is a blue lightning in the sky Falling into the village, it was immediately absorbed by the purple mist. This purple mist must be restricted by some kind of magic circle, but he didn't feel any spiritual energy from the stone platform, instead there was a kind of gloomy energy hovering there.
You must know that although his spiritual consciousness cannot be separated from the body, he is still extremely sensitive to the aura. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. Han Li couldn't help being extremely surprised.
And near the high platform, there are several halls that are much taller than ordinary stone houses. At the door, there are several people pointing at the thin man and others, and whispering something. One of them glanced at Han Li with a gleam in his eyes.
Han Li's heart trembled. This is the first guy with profound internal strength that he has seen here.
If it was outside, he could easily pinch him to death with one finger, and he would not pay attention to it at all, but now he has to put up all his energy to deal with the opponent. At this moment, the thin man walked towards those people and said something, then turned his head and pointed at Han Li and Mei Ning a few times, and those people's eyes immediately glanced at Han Li.
Han Li remained calm and did not show any timidity, but Mei Ning, who was at the side, seemed restless, not knowing how the other party would deal with them.
"Come here, two of you. The elders in the village have something to ask you." The thin man waved to Han Li and the two of them.
Han Li nodded, and walked over with the woman calmly.
The group of people turned around and entered the hall behind them first, followed by Han Li.
"Please sit down, both of you. Since we are here, we are all human races, so we will try our best to help each other. However, this place is really different from the outside world. Could you please introduce yourself first, and then I will tell you about this place. Things." In the hall, a slightly fat old man sitting in the middle of the hall said to the two of them with kind eyes.
On both sides, there were several other people sitting. Among them was a white-faced man with slender eyes and a hint of fierceness. He was the one who glanced at Han Li outside the hall. His eyes were radiant, but at this moment he only glanced over Han Li's face, but his eyes fell on the beautiful woman behind Han Li. Although he didn't say a word, there was a strange look in his eyes.
"The two of us have nothing to talk about. It's just that we ran into ghost fog at sea, so we got involved here. As for our previous identities, what's the use here? Let's not talk about it!" Han Li smiled casually, replied very calmly.
Hearing Han Li's vague answer, the old man laughed.
He squinted his eyes and looked the two of them up and down several times, then suddenly said something that surprised Han Li.
"You two are immortal cultivators. There is nothing to hide about this identity." After saying this, the old man's eyes fell on the storage bag at Han Li's waist, which looked bulging.
Han Li's expression remained unchanged, but he remained silent for a while, while Mei Ning's pretty face was pale, and she felt a little worried.
"Don't be afraid, you two. Although there are not many immortal cultivators here, they are not too few. Compared with ordinary people, we welcome people who used to be immortal cultivators to join our village. But you two should also know , In this dark place, spiritual power and mana cannot be used, the only power that can be used is the power of the dark and some vulgar martial arts." The old man explained with a normal expression.
"The power of the underworld?" Han Li asked suspiciously.
"Yes, this is an external force that is similar to mana. Although it cannot be used to cast spells directly, you monks can borrow the yin beast crystals in some yin beasts to arrange some small magic circles. It is still not good for the village. Small ones. And even those who are not proficient in formations, the bodies of immortal cultivators are much stronger than ordinary people, and they will also be a good helper." The old man twisted his short beard on his chin and said slowly.
"Your Excellency seems to know a lot about us cultivators. Is there any other cultivators in the village?" Han Li asked after listening to the old man's words.
"Yes, of course there are, and there are as many as five or six people. This old man is one of them. Before I was sucked into the ghost fog, I succeeded in building the foundation." The corners of the fat old man's mouth curled up slightly. Said.
A look of surprise flashed across Han Li's face. After hesitating for a while, when he wanted to ask something more, the whole hall suddenly trembled, and then rumbling sounds came from a distance, as if there was something huge, He was rushing towards the village.
The faces of everyone in the hall changed, they ignored Han Li, got up and walked out at the same time. Han Li looked suspicious, and walked out without delay. Outside the hall, the elders of the village were commanding hundreds of young men and women with solemn faces, rushing up the thick stone wall, holding all kinds of white spears and some simple bows and arrows.
Although everyone's face was tense, they were orderly, and there was no trace of panic, as if they had already experienced it many times.
Han Li turned his eyes and looked in the direction of the loud noise, but because of the stone wall blocking it, although he felt that the ground was trembling more and more alarmingly, he didn't see anything.
Han Li rubbed his chin, looked around for a while, and immediately walked to a tall house nearby. Taking advantage of others' surprise, he stepped on the wall with his toes and easily climbed up to the stone house. He stood on the roof and looked out. . At this moment, Han Li could finally see what was happening in the distance.
A little farther away from the village, sand and rocks were flying, and the wind was fluttering. Black strange winds blew up, and nothing could be seen clearly. Wherever these black winds passed, a layer of black frost was condensed on the ground, which looked strange. Looks extremely cold.
It seems that this is the evil wind in the mouth of the lean man, and it really is not something ordinary people can bear.
But as soon as these yin winds approached more than a hundred places in the village, they dissipated on their own, and they were still unable to cross an invisible boundary.
But amidst these winds, there was a series of sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground. Although the distance was still far away, an astonishing momentum was faintly revealed. A moment later, a huge black shadow more than ten feet high rushed out of the wind.
After seeing the true face of the black shadow, Han Li took a deep breath.
At first glance, the black shadow seems to be a gray giant ape magnified more than ten times, but this beast has four eyes on its face, a pair of fleshy wings on its ribs, and it is holding a strange black wood in one hand. Charged madly towards the village, and at the same time, the four strange eyes glowed blood red, full of endless killing breath.
"It's a cunning beast. This time it's a cunning beast. Hurry up and send the big shield over here." After seeing the face of the giant beast clearly, several people shouted loudly at the same time.
Immediately, a large number of women, children, and white-haired old men emerged, holding various shields, and sent them to the people on the wall one by one, and then ran down the stone wall in a panic. At this time, the giant beast had already reached a distance of less than a hundred feet from the stone wall, and the sound of the vibration of its giant feet landing almost made Han Li wonder whether the seemingly solid stone wall would have been abruptly closed before the beast approached. It was shaken and collapsed.
But fortunately, this didn't really happen. The giant beast rushed to a distance of thirty feet in the blink of an eye. At this moment, a few huge tentacles made of purple fog suddenly sprang out from the ground nearby. Bind the giant beast's feet tightly at once. The giant beast couldn't stand still, and fell hard in front of the stone wall, causing everyone on the stone wall to stagger from side to side.
Han Li was startled, and subconsciously looked back at those high platforms. As a result, he was shocked to find that there were four people sitting cross-legged on the stone platform at some point, emitting a faint purple aura all over their bodies, as if they were casting spells.
"Is this the power of the underworld?" Han Li's heart moved.
"Attack!" Almost instantly, someone issued an order.
Densely packed spears and arrows shot at the giant beast that fell to the ground like rain, covering it completely.
When Han Li saw this, he couldn't help feeling tense.
